No investigation for over a month

I discovered last month that I was being billed for my drifta by DSTV even though I had not used this for almost 5 years and was sure that I had cancelled it. When I called DSTV regarding this they stated that they will investigate and come back to me. A month later after after not hearing anything from DSTV I called them to ask what's happening. After much investigation by the call centre agent it was revealed that the previous call centre agent had not initiated any investigation or inquiry and in fact nothing had been done or was in the process of being done. In fact had I not phoned then nothing would have been done at all. All that the call centre agent could advise was that they would start an investigation. I indicated that at this stage that was unacceptable. Why must I phone and chase DSTV when they dont do what they say they must do. Eventually spoke to a supervisor on Friday who PROMISED me they would get back to me that day. Surprise surprise by today they had not called me back. After much chasing I got hold of the supervisor who apologies and now indicated that they will try and initiate an investigation. Seriously at this stage the opportunity for investigations are over. Your service is a disgrace and you should be embarrassed about how you treat your customers. Not holding my breath on any actual feedback except for the we are investigating ******* that get peddled to me. Could you please explain why I must always chase....

Monday morning and still no feedback or response from anyone. Pathetic and disgusting but unfortunately expected from DSTV. Have stopped even giving feedback on hellopeter......Just hoping I guess that if you ignore me for long enough Ill just stop following up.....

Now calling the call centre again. I'm sure I'm just gonna get the run around again. So tired of having to explain the same thing 100 times. Eland do you even believe the things you say. The only thing you do is promise to investigate and escalate but to date you have not bothered to contact me and you clearly have made yourself uncontactable which is the same thing your supervisors do.

Hi Elna Tried calling you but no answer......oh well why am I not surprised. Promised me feedback by Monday and well surprise surprise no feedback. Is there a reason you couldn't call me and give me an update. Possibly because just like everyone else you are all avoiding me. As usual lots of fobbing off and telling me it is being dealt with but in all honesty as we stand here still no real feedback. Dont actually expect any to be honest...I have kind of accepted that this is how DSTV is. Arrogant and uncaring. Oh well.....

Hi Anyone Just to let you know that Elna the customer service agent that is supposed to be 'sorting' things out for me has not made any contact with me for over a week. She is not answering her phone and does not seem to care that she made commitments to me which she is not holding to. Anyway just more and more frustration from the same company. Disgrace
